Silverstone does not have more pigment in it. It has different pigments whose molecules possess different absorption/reflection characteristics, the weight of which are negligible. The absorbance of light is irrelevant as photons have no mass. It is the light reflective properties of Sebring that slow it down, not speed it up, which is in keeping with Newton's Laws of Motion, and Laws I and III in particular. Although photons possess no mass, their particle - wave shift behavior can, and does, provide a measurable (as allowed by the Heisenberg Principle) amount of resistance.
The contemporary concept of classic is directly derived from Aristotle's (and Plato's) "ideal form" - the perfect model, or representation, that best represents an archetype either physical or conceptual. It has nothing to do with possessing bugs, quirks, averages, or any other non ideal characteristics. Honda toiled long and hard for four years and then they rested on the laurels of their Aristotelian success, as evidenced by the fact that the 2005 models are but mere copies of the original perfection.
Certainly, any sane, rational person should be able to evaluate and graciously accept the overwhelming evidence of the vast superiority of 2004 Silverstones, particularly mine.

Humbug. In 40 or 50 years from now I am going to be the first to post an "I told you so" thread when the price of the Sebring Silver 2002 S2000 far outpaces the price of all other colors and model years (especially black and spa). Just you wait and see.

Marco, I just love your Maya pictures. She really looks like she is thinking the things you say she is.


Rob, you don't have any cats or dogs do you? Any pets?


Suzuka Blue is the most beautiful color and they are all fast.

Sebring, on the other hand, reflects the light and the force of this reflection give Sebring that extra push.
Of course, the hood is longer than the trunk, so there's more paint and more reflection up front. This means a Sebring will be fastest only when going backward - when going forward, this effect will only slow it down.

You have the strangest way of giving compliments, but I'll take you on your word. Thank you.

Now, back to the controversy. What's today's topic?
